Preservation has become a bigger concern in gaming. The idea beloved experiences can be lost to time is something a lot of players want to avoid. It’s certainly unfortunate so many games I grew up on are not playable without pulling out the system it originally released on. This is getting better, like Capcom’s upcoming Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics includes The Punisher, though there is still a long way to go. One of the most recent returning titles is a favorite from my youth, Tomba! Special Edition. With so much time between the original release, and now; does it stand the test of time, or is it simply good to have the option to play? - IS
A PS1 classic that just doesn't seem to hold up, this is probably one you'll want to skip.
Dennis writes, "Tomba! Special Edition is a great game that fans of the original should pick up if they haven't already. While the game is prolonged when it loads into areas, it makes up for that by allowing players to rewind before their mistakes quickly. The bonus behind-the-scenes content is a neat addition for newcomers and fans alike."
Can’t teach an Old Pig new tricks Tomba! or as best I know it as Tombi! is a classic platform adventure game originally released for the PlayStation and is a game I am excited to get back into as I had a blast playing this growing up. Author: Aaron Moger for Game Hype UK.
I can't think of any other game that became famous throughout it's PS demo, rather than the game itself. I was stoked as a kid to get this when my brother and I got the PSX chipped (wow that takes me back to a different time, anyone else get there's chipped?), then we had a genuine copy of Tombi 2 - which I think is probably better, such badass music. I was very pleased I got to play this again as an adult, the nostalgia wears off when you realise you never got to the end in the actual game as a kid, but the intriguing world remains and I enjoyed my time with it.
The physical disc used to fetch a pretty high price. Probably not now thanks to re releases.
